When we think of CGI, we don’t exactly think of David Fincher. Known for labyrinthine mystery thrillers, Fincher is unwavering in his dedication to detail, as this gripping new video essay explains. Kaptain Kristian charts Fincher’s obsessive eye, uncovering how the director has used visual effects to achieve a historically accurate skyline or a meticulous timeline of events. But Fincher never sacrifices story for the sake of flashy effects; he only uses CG techniques to enhance his storytelling.

One example is in “Zodiac,” the 2007 murder thriller set in 1960s San Francisco. Fincher used CGI in almost every background shot in order to achieve the most accurate view of the city as it was. Additionally, Fincher rarely uses make-up blood, preferring CGI splatters. In the bathroom scene in...

Steven Yeun is getting closer to his next post-The Walking Dead role: dad!
The actor, 33, posted a series of adorable photos with his wife Joana Pak to Instagram on Monday, showing off her growing baby bump.

It’s continuous. It doesn’t stop.” — Sarah, Love Streams I love a good punch. Not the kind Robert Mitchum could land, or the kind Errol Flynn once received, though the mythmaking breeziness of another era’s gossip columns ensures even these retain an ageless charm. I mean the verbal kind, the hit-you-in-the-belly kind. A gut punch. Putdowns are an art: cadence is a weapon, pithiness a bullet. Brevity bruises: it’s not so much what is said as everything that isn’t. The best knocks hurt precisely because, no matter how brutal they get,...

Oscar Pistorius Reenacts Reeva Steenkamp's Death

Ultimately, the video was not shown during the trial and ended up in the hands of Australia’s Channel Seven.
In the video, shot at Arnold Pistorius home, Pistorius is shown moving on his stumps towards a bathroom door, his arm raised as if he was holding a gun. In the bathroom, his sister Aimee played the part of Steenkamp and is shown slumped over the toilet. Pistorius then shows how he lifted Steenkamp up and brought her down the stairs.

April Rhodes and Holly Holiday also returned, to get soused up in the rafters of the theater and concoct shenanigans for saving the glee club one more time.
April and Holly are palling around the faculty lounge at McKinley, trying to figure out how to make the most out of a game of Kill, Marry, or Bone that prominently features Mr. Schue as the most bone-able contestant. Apparently Sue only hears the words “Will” and “Kill” because she scoots in there with a fire in her eyes and a crossbow strapped to her back.

To be sure, Hollywood wouldn’t be Hollywood without being a little off its axis. But the events of recent weeks make Tinseltown seem almostas if the tectonic plates are shifting and we’re all about to be swallowed upin a giant, sucking sinkhole along with those vintage Corvettes. There was Fast and Furious star Paul Walker dying senselessly in a horrible car crash. There was the shocking news that the brilliant award-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman had died. In New York. In his Greenwich Village apartment. In the bathroom. A syringe in his arm. Five empty packets and dozens more full of heroin. The lights of Broadway were dimmed in his honor. Then, like a Dementor swooping down on the Hogwarts Express,bespectacled Woody Allen found himself dueling with his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow,...

Ja from Mnpp here - I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but don't you just love forever besties Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts? I saw them once walking into the movie theater in Union Square in New York and I spent weeks contemplating what they were going to see. I mean, I can't be the only one who spends an unhealthy amount of time imagining them laying on a sofa, both in sweatpants, Naomi's head in Nicole's lap, a comically enormous bowl of popcorn on Naomi's belly, as they nosh and watch some difficult and demanding foreign film and see who can call dibs on the director first, right? That's totally how it rolls.
Anyway, picture that. Only this time Naomi rolls over, spilling some kernels on the floor, super sad. "Aww, what's wrong, puss-puss?" Nicole Asks. Nicole calls Naomi "puss-puss" in this scenario. Just go with it.

We begin at a wild party. Rudy is drinking himself to oblivion while desperately trying to find a woman who’ll shag him. He compliments one woman’s collarbone (I’ll give him points for originality), another woman’s hair, a third woman’s thin ankles. Polaroid’s are taken throughout the night, documenting the debauchery.
Finally one of the women is willing to have sex with him. God knows why, but okay. In the bedroom, just as they’re about to go at it, she stops him.
“I don’t want to do this if it’s just a one night stand. Promise you’ll call me tomorrow.”
Rudy agrees to call her as he’s unzipping his pants. They shag. Wild and unprotected, as is usual for Rudy (“Pretty girls don’t get HIV”). When they’re done, and he’s putting on his pants again, he casually tosses out this bon mot.

Step into the Gallagher home on the Burbank, Calif., set of Showtime's "Shameless," and one is immediately impressed by the attention to detail.
The interior is vintage early 20th century Middle America. The off-white eggshell walls are dinged and dented. The moldings around the doors and windows are covered in glossy, light-green paint, with the brush strokes visible. In the bathroom stands a vintage 1920s porcelain pedestal sink complete with rust stains. And in the kitchen, the refrigerator is beaten up and the paint chipped.
"It's very important that it all feels like a house, that it feels cozy, that it doesn't feel fake," Emmy Rossum, who plays eldest daughter and de facto mother figure Fiona Gallagher, tells Zap2it. "That's why when we were in our rehearsal process, we actually used the fridge as our fridge. We would make lunches for the kids out of there, and it was all kind of real feeling.

In the live action/CG-animated comedy, he tells the story of John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg), a grown man who must deal with the cherished teddy bear who came to life as the result of a childhood wish…and has refused to leave his side ever since.
The home video release comes with the following bonus features:

Previously on Misfits: Young delinquents gained superpowers, which led them to kill their probation worker, which led Simon to kill their other probation worker, and Nathan still doesn't even know what his dang power is.
Last episode of season one! Curse you, British brevity!
As usual, something weird is going on around the community center: young ruffians are suddenly giving up their troublemaking ways and joining a group of goodie-goodies led by... hey, it's Lady Clara from Downton Abbey!
Otherwise, things are pretty normal for the Misfits: Alisha and Curtis go off to do their unique version of the nasty, and Nathan is still a huge jerk to Simon. Simon's patience is wearing thin, and for good reason... he hasn't told the others that Sally is currently hanging out in a freezer.
In the bathroom, Alisha runs into Rachel, the snooty leader of the pious “Virtue” group. Rachel disapproves of Alisha's promiscuous ways,...

Suits will go back in time on this Thursday's "Rewind," taking viewers inside the lives of its characters five years ago.
But our Round Table isn't taking such drastic members. Instead, staff members Chandel Charles, Christine Orlando, Nick McHatton and Carissa Pavlica are here to take a journey in reverse of just a few days, back to last week's "Sucker Punch."
Gather around now as they breakdown the developments at Pearson/Hardman...
-------------------------------------------
What was your favorite scene from this episode?
Chandel: Mike calling Harvey out for not realizing how far everyone had gone to help him. It's about time he woke up.
Christine: I loved when Donna told off Harvey on the street. He didn't call, he had his assistant call. He never made any personal attempt to talk to her and he didn't have the guts to fire her himself. Hell, he wouldn't even ride the elevator down...

The same artist who created the funny Marvel animated short Hulk... In the Bathroom, also created a few other hilarious animated shorts for Harry Potter. The short series is called Harrey Podder: Say the Magic Word, and they show us "what would happen in the Harry Potter world if their spells didn't quite go the way they meant them to." The outcomes are very unexpected, but extremely entertaining so I hope you enjoy them! These were written, directed, and animated by David Stodolny.

This week the episode does two things – it develops some characters (Tom, Karen/Dev, maybe Karen/Ivy and definitely Eileen) and moves the musical along!
At rehearsal, Karen “really bumped it up a notch,” she’s even wearing lip gloss! All for Rebecca Duvall. Sam asks Tom if she’s “a little old” to be playing Marilyn – since Rebecca is “36-ish.” And apparently Tom and Sam have been flirting for a week and Julia’s tired of it, so...

On the day she died, Whitney Houston complained of a sore throat, so she decided to take a bath in her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton before getting ready for a pre-Grammy party. The singer's assistant left Houston to run an errand at Nieman Marcus. When the assistant returned to the singer's room around 3:35 p.m. on Saturday Feb. 11, Houston was lying face down in the bathtub in approximately 13-inches of water, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday. The singer was pulled out of the tub by her assistant and bodyguard. When police arrived on the scene,...

Although the official cause of Whitney Houston's death was recently announced as accidental drowning, the L.A. County coroner released its final report Wednesday (April 4) that provides new details about Houston's condition when authorities arrived on the scene at the Beverly Hilton on February 11.
According to the report obtained by People and E! Online, Houston complained of a sore throat so she decided to take a bath before getting ready for Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party.
When Houston's assistant returned to the hotel room after running an errand, the singer was face down in the bathtub in 13 inches of "extremely hot" water, which caused a burn on Houston's back. When police arrived on the scene, they found an open bottle of champagne,...

Sufferin' sweetbreads - as though murders, miscarriages, and affairs weren't enough, this week American Horror Story hit us with suicide, an extremely disturbing school shooting, and evil pig-men. It was like watching Fox News! Okay, okay - maybe it wasn't that scary...
Ding-dong. Constance (Jessica Lange) answers the door of the Murder House to find the only thing worse than Mormon missionaries on her doorstep: a Swat team looking for Tate. It's 1994, and Tate just shot up Westfield High.
And they're going to make us watch it.
Sheesh.

At the library, the group of students we met last week as ghosts barricade themselves in with a teacher when they hear shots in the hallway. Okay, I have to give a nod to Violet's ironic accuracy in dubbing the ghost kids "the Dead Breakfast Club", considering that they all died in the library. Judd Nelson Type says...

This week American Horror Story ran the second half of its Halloween-themed two-parter, and I think I speak for all of us when I say thank God everything makes sense now, right?
Wrong. This show's still nutty as a fruitcake and twice as nauseating ... in the best possible way, of course.
While it did close the book on the Harmons' first Halloween in Murder House, this really could have been its own episode - the biggest takeaway from the two-parter is exactly how busy a night in that damned Victorian really is. It's like Grand Central up that piece - or the Brady Bunch bathroom, even.
Anyway, let's get to it - these bodies aren't going to unearth themselves! Except that they are.
We do a tiny rewind from last week's cliffhanger and learn that - as I suggested in my recap last week - Tate (Evan Peters) did indeed...

Last week heralded the release of Sega’s new gore-filled game for the Xbox 360 Kinect, Rise Of Nightmares.
With fans excited for its “M for Mature” rating in the sea of family-friendly titles that currently exist for the Kinect, Sega harnessed that anticipation and released a series of comedic commercials and viral videos to promote the game.
The best of these commercials was one which featured an actual zombie as the game’s spokesperson. It’s great, he starts right out by saying “Hi, I’m dead! Which makes me the perfect person to introduce…” You know what? I’ll just let you watch it.
But enough about advertising, time to play the game. So power up your Kinect and put on some protective eyewear, things are gonna get messy.

Previously on Pretty Little Liars, Aria discovered that Mike has been on a season-long Blind Girl Craft Fair heist, Spencer’s dad got more and more insane every time he returned from Out of Town, Hanna tried to fix her parents’ relationship but broke her soon-to-be step-sister’s bucking bronco instead, and A redecorated her murder room with one thousand photos of Emily’s face.
Emily can’t sleep because of the psychological warfare A is unleashing on her at all hours of the day and night. When she’s not flashing back to getting poisoned by A or being felt up by A or — equally horrific — having dinner with Quin, she is replaying that Alpha-Bits fortune like some kind of Goebbels radio broadcast: "Weakest link, weakest link, weakest link." Which, when you think about it, is the meanest swipe you could take at Emily’s psyche. Not just because...

Preparing for a Lady Gaga show in Oklahoma City this week, one girl went wildly over the edge to imitate the iconic pop star, known for showing up to the MTV Music Awards in her now infamous meat dress. Angelina Barnes, 20, of Oklahoma City, drowned and mutilated the 15-year-old family cat while dressed in a Lady Gaga outfit and proceeded to cover her face in cat blood, according to Radar Online.

A woman attempts to pay at the check out in the grocery store, hounded by a complaining customer behind her and very nervous when she looks at a gang outside in the car. Lots of potential suspects in the opening as to why she was so anxious. Shots are heard and the trolley cart boy and the same woman are shot and killed. Nick's (George Eads) first comment at the Cs is that he wanted to go grocery shopping too. Very out of character and irrelevant that two DBs could lead him to think of shopping. Sara (Jorga Fox) replies someone had the same idea. The Db boy, Hector has prison tattoos so could have been the intended target. Brass (Paul Guilfoyle) comments on the woman being an unlucky customer, meaning her shooting could have been accidental. However Nick comments on the Gs (Gun shot) wounds and one in her left eye.

First of all, I should mention that I was on "The Vampire Diaries" set in Atlanta for a few days of filming this episode, "Daddy Issues," so I've been particularly looking forward to seeing all the bits and pieces come together. That said, I think that even if I hadn't gotten a special peek behind the scenes, this would be one of my favorite episodes of the year.
It's always nice to see an episode with all the series regulars present and accounted for, with some great development for a lot of the characters in and out of their relationships. I kept checking the clock during this one because it seemed impossible that so much had happened in so little time.
Speaking of time... I don't have enough of it these days, so let's get going. Hit play.
